Shuffling Around

No update in quite some time, so here goes:

Nearly 4 weeks ago, I went to visit some friends in Canadia. We rode all day, and at the end of the day, I felt the need to hit this big contraption here:


Well, I didn't make it all the way up there. Luckily, I fell inbetween all those trees there and landed straightlegged and flat footed on a couple of big logs. And then of course the bike fell and landed on my head. It really was not a spectacular crash at all, and I was fine for a few minutes.

Since then, my whole body has felt the jolt and I haven't really ridden my bike in 4 weeks. I have a slipped disc in my back, but apparently all is well again with some chiropractic assistance and heaps of stretching, so I can ride again.

One week after crash, I was still in denial and figured I could just "ride it off". I helped my buddies at Transition Bikes move to their awesome new building, and upon waking the next morning, I knew something was definitely not right in my back.

Here's some pics from the big moving day:

In with the new!

Plenty of space to fill

Keep up the good work with such great bikes guys!

Finally, Spring, but now it's gone again

Saturday was by far the closest to Spring-type weather we've had. Sunny and warm for the most part. Lyndsey and I started the day off on Blanchard Mountain for a change of pace.

Still not fun yet

Okay, now it's fun!

Kyle of Transition Bikes called up just in time for me to catch a second ride for the day. Conflicting schedules keep us from getting together as often as we'd like, so with weather like this I jumped at the chance to take a rip with him.

Now the weather is back to the normal wet/dreariness of the Pacific Northwest. Boooooo.
